    My god. How do you survive that? I’m amazed and thankful the child walked away with minor injuries. I hope there are no lingering mental scars.

    Wonder if he's a member here, and hope he's ok. A buddy from Maine just sent me the article, which made me look here, thinking someone might know something more.

    Was posted on Facebook. His lad and another person were in the car. The other person was unharmed and his son had moderate lacerations to his head, but otherwise he was ok. (IIRC)

    There were a lot of people asking him to part it out, which certainly seemed a bit "soon" at best.

    To say this is insensitive by those people would be an understatement.

    Scary. All the best for the survivors. So sorry to see anther fairly rare 348 die. Maybe it can be restored. Hopefully. My first Ferrari was a 348 Spider rosso/tan so this hurts to see.

    It was my car. My son and grandson were in it. My son got some pretty deep head wounds but will be fine in time. My grandson had minor and I mean minor marks on his knee. My son covered his son when it rolled. Likely saving both of them. The car is in very poor condition. I am looking to in to get it fixed. Not sure how that will work out. It could have been so much worst. Thankful both will be fine.

    Who is was it insured by? Are they not totaling it? I mean, anything is fixable but that car looks like toast to me. So glad everyone survived!!

    Agreed value by Hagerty. So far not so good. Time will tell.

    I am trying to get an estimate to repair it. It has major body damage but the drive train and suspension seem fine. I would think any body damage can be fixed right? I do not want to part with this car if I can help it.

    I mean, your a-pillars are… gone. They would need to be recreated from scratch or I guess cut off a donor car. If it was a 250 California Spider this would make sense, but for a 348 I cannot imagine repair would be the least bit cost effective.

    Beyond that, god knows what less obvious damage there is.

    Is it at a body shop currently?

    Good the read the update. Plugzit's car was bombed by a Eucalyptus tree and repaired after being salvaged. It got repaired perfectly. I'm pretty sure that at the end of the day it all worked out more than satisfactorily for him,

    Its not a matter if it can be fixed correctly. Of that there is no question. It is an economic decision. The salvage value plays a huge part. The problem with exotics is the bill goes up and up as the job progresses. Then there is parts availability questions. Can stretch job out a long time and that is in no ones interest. If you claim loss of use thats often a deal killer. Insurance companies have learned their lesson and know its often better for them to just give you a check and avoid the surprises.

    Customer of ours set up a poor 8-9 series at Summit Point and overcorrected into a roll. Looked about the same once it was righted. Crushed diagonally across to the driver's A-pillar. Pirouetted on the right rear and then forward. Yellow car. Had to have been a fascinating event to see. Instructor was bent in the direction of the crush when they extricated him, but nothing that a night of scotch and Aleve didn't solve.

    Hear that the car was pieced out so fast NY roadside crews were impressed... Got the owner into a beautiful 355 though.
